Boeing F/A-18E Hornet VF-201 Hunters

File Description:
These are textures only and are applied to Daisuke Yamamoto's Boeing F/A-18E, filename: fa18e_sh.zip; available at http://www.flightsim.com "or" filename: fa18esh3_138105.zip; Avsim library. This is the CAG version of the bird. VFA-201 Hunters fly the F/A-18A+ version of the Hornet now and this paint scheme was originally applied to that model Hornet. Upon transitioning to the F/A-18 from F-14A Tomcats the Hunters dropped the state of Texas insignia that they wore on their Tomcats and re-adopted their earlier chevron insignia that now adorns their Hornets. For the first time in 50 years, an entire Naval Reserve strike fighter squadron was called up for active duty over Iraq. The Hunters flew more than 1,000 sorties off of the USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT, then returned home to Ft. Worth NAS, JRB, in Texas. I wish to thank Daisuke Yamamoto and Hiroaki Kubota for providing us with such a fine model of this aircraft and their kind permission to repaint it. These are 32-bit textures with no mip-maps to preserve image clarity.
